2000 yards. With iPhone out of commission for the second consecutive swim, I just did 10 x 200 yards. It was a wonderful weather day, Walter did not join me for this. My goggles need a refurb, tehy fog way too easily now.

4mi. So just leave the front door and time a 2 mile out and back sprint? This was fun the last two weeks in lieu of the bridge run, and I believe this familiarization with the breathing and lungs necessary to do well in a 5k like event. I did 26:01 this week, negative split … Continue reading A new piece of speed
2000 yards. I figured a self imposed 5 x 400yards would be a good workout in the way left lanes, over by the water slide. Walter came and did 1650 yards. The water and air temps are about the same. I love that. My toes cramped while trying to kick 100 with big fins on, … Continue reading Make it up yourself
2000 yards. 75 degrees out of the water, 80 degrees in the pool. I love getting the, "I'm not cold going in the pool" feeling. My breathing hold the air to exhale as long as possible feels more natural. I cramped in my toes trying the last 100 kick with long fins. True I had … Continue reading In good weather or in better weather.
2000 yards. With fewer people to watch, look at and listen to, I could spend time learning how my stroke and efficiency should be. I felt good on the expulsion breathing, and arms inward facing during the stroke. Warmup Set (400y) 5 x 75 (25 easy/25 build easy to moderate/25 moderate) @ 0:15 rest 25 … Continue reading Low attendance means concentrate on the little things
4 mi. I ran quickly from the house to the back of the neighborhood while John did his homework - this will be a good way to gauge my ability to blast out 3-4 miles at the end of a sprint triathlon. I'll keep it alive.
19.3mi The distance may be changing because the cat eye needs a battery! I chose the Mirasol route because it definitely has less traffic and wacky people. I averaged 20.3 for the route, had to stop at a traffic light at PGA and Central Blvd, but the concern is getting in an extra ride and … Continue reading Spinning safely
8mi. After running in very favorable conditions, I thought some about the Hanson Distance Project's philosophy that you train hard as if it were your final miles of a race. The weather was 68 degrees. I ran alone for all of my laps, only a few other runners were there even when I left. carolyn … Continue reading Hills like the last 6 mi of a race
2000 yards. Some of the Brenton Ford tactics are working well! I control breathing now to keep air until right before I come up for a new mouthful. I use the inward pointed arms to have correct elbow positioning. And I pause to keep my gliding hand out front for a little longer. Walter came … Continue reading Something’s happening…
2000 yards Short course setup is back, Walter came along again and the weather was enviably perfect. JOhn brother in law sent a picture of the Bethpage house buried in snow and the promise that he is moving into the guest house. I felt very good swimming, trying to do the late release of air … Continue reading Two a week feels right.
